Promising review (for a custom dildo): "This was my first excursion into wooden toys. At such an affordable price, everybody can give this one a spin, and they definitely should, if only to own something so well crafted! My findings so far: wood occupies sort of a middle space in hardness between glass and silicone, and the texture on this piece is ripply enough to be perceptibly interesting without giving a 'popping' effect like some other toys might have. What might be its best feature, however, is its incredibly light weight — it's only a few ounces, and unlike many other dicks, it doesn't leave your hand tired from repeated use. The color I had ordered wasn't in stock, but the shop owner was awesome and prompt with messaging about it and more than made up for it! I'll definitely be back come payday to check out some more designs. Thanks so much!" —Liram Duran
